At The North Star Academy, our mission is to make a
meaningful difference by assisting individuals and the families who support
them. We are committed to individuals
reaching fulfilled and independent lives through the acquisition and retention
of skills in an enriched environment

Families
and professionals have many challenges that directly impact home and school
functioning, such as extreme oppositional behavior, repetitive-stereotyped
behaviors, self-injurious behaviors, homework refusal, disruptive sleep
patterns, poor food consumption, and a lack of independence in self-care and
self-management. The North Star Academy's outreach staff will provide workshop,
seminar, eLearning coursework (accessible via the North Star Academy’s
website), and individualized family and professional staff development to
address challenging behaviors in their home and in community settings. Parent/professional training will also be
provided by the North Star Academy staff in conjunction with summer and weekend
special needs children’s camps held at the North Star Academy or Midnight Farm.
